Wow! The only way to have a more profound upgrade would be to have come from. Lada Niva... enjoy! As I'm very sure you will...

I've had tuned LS1s in the past which felt abit stronger from 60kph plus but the golf offers so much as an overall vehicle with little compromise between comfortable daily to fun weekender with heaps of tech.

I went from a 1.5 litre Mitsu Lancer to a Mk 6 R. The clutch in the Lancer, unlike in my current Mk 7 R, lasted 170,000 kms
Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD
Previous - Mk 6 R manual; Mk 7 R manual; Passat 130 TDi Wagon. Mk 7.5 Wolfsburg Wagon.

The extra 200 plus horsepower will do that...

My 7.5 R was meant to arrive in Fremantle last Friday but has been delayed till tomorrow. It has been taking forever to reach Fremantle now....
Arrives in Melbourne on Friday 22nd.
Gee, they take forever to arrive you are tracking the ship 10 times a day!

Only 10 times a day - you weren't very keen, were you ?
I'm supposed to be collecting mine on Friday - it seems to have been ages, but I know lots of others have much longer waits.

After coming from a front driver, I'm still noticing the steering more than the hilarious gas pedal in the 7.5. I think you naturally just dial in a bit more lock for a front-driver to compensate for understeer even when your not playing pretend getaway driver.
Anyway, I think I might do an oil-change at 1000k. Anything different about a Golf's oil change ?
